Obsessed With Cameras? Me? Never...

In the last year or two, I have become unhealthily obsessed with cameras and photography. I own a small digital point and shoot (a Fujifilm Finepix something or other) that's always in my handbag, and a Samsung WB100 bridge camera that I film my YouTube videos and take blog photos with. I'm lusting after a DSLR, but that's another story...

In the last 9 months though, I became very interested in more "alternative" cameras, lomography and instant cameras in particular. My wonderful boyfriend bought me my Fuji Instax Mini for my birthday last year, and I picked up the Diana Superstar Mini in the Urban Outfitters sale for just £25! Obviously these cameras can work out quite expensive when you factor in the price of film, but I just adore them.

I LOVE these cameras for documenting special events, though obviously it's always advisable to take photos on another camera as well, even your phone, as the results with instant/lomography cameras can be unpredictable... especially when you first start using them! Hopefully I'll be able to share some of my photography with you soon.

I feel you girl. I'm obsessed with cameras. I have an old 35mm camera that my dad gave me. It's bulky but still pretty cool. I have the old fashion polaroid. I also have an Fuji Instax. I'm also currently looking for an old vintage Lubitel.

Girlfriend i know what you mean! I love photography as much as i love scrapbooking. I have collected about 40 vintage cameras and that's not including my 2 digital camers and my instax camera! Lol when i have my own place i want a scrapbook room with a wall shelf displaying all of my cameras. :D
